The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 543 - Chapter 543 Chapter 543 Soul Scattered

Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Soul Scattered Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Soul Scattered “Hehehe–”

A terrifying laugh spread throughout the room. The ghost baby was enveloped in a cloud of black mist, its huge mouth grinning, its tiny eyes squinting, the expression on its face grotesque and horrifying.

When the Meng Family saw such a thing, their bodies went ice-cold as if they had fallen into an icehouse, making them freeze in place, unable to move at all.

“So ugly.” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but frown and critique, “Master Zeng’s taste is really not that great.”

Although the ghost baby was pitiable, it was now completely devoid of its own consciousness, serving only as a killing machine. If left unchecked, who knew how many innocent lives it would claim.

Lu Yichen, standing next to Zhong Niangyao, nodded in agreement, “It is indeed ugly. If you don’t like it, then don’t look at it.”

The ghost baby, though unconscious, could still instinctively sense the threat from Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao. Without a moment’s hesitation, it instantly attacked the Meng Family.

Compared to Zhong Niangyao and the others, the Meng Family was like meat on a chopping board, at its mercy.

With its gaping maw, it charged at the Meng Family as if it intended to swallow them whole, absorbing them as its nourishment.

“Ah–”

Seeing the ghost baby pounce toward them, the Meng Family knew they needed to avoid it. However, their feet were not under their control, as if nailed to the ground, unable to move even a step.

Just as the ghost baby was about to strike them, a delicate white hand suddenly grasped the ghost baby.

Zhong Niangyao, looking at the ghost baby she had caught, couldn’t help but show a look of disgust on her face.

The ghost baby, thinking it was about to consume these annoying people and become stronger, now suddenly caught, emitted an even denser black mist, its tiny eyes blood-red and terrifying. It stared straight at Zhong Niangyao, growling lowly as it struggled to move forward and attack her.

Looking at the ghost baby’s appearance, Zhong Niangyao’s mouth curved into a dangerous smile. Then, with a flick of her hand, she forcefully threw the ghost baby away.

“Wuah wuah–”

The ghost baby was flung against the wall, its dense ghost energy also dispersed significantly. It emitted a series of agonizing wails.

The sound echoed in the room, sharp and piercing, making everyone’s eardrums feel a throbbing pain.

Such noise pounded in the heads of the Meng Family, causing them to instinctively cover their ears. However, they still couldn’t block out the demonic sound’s assault.

“So annoying.”

Zhong Niangyao frowned, then immediately threw a talisman at the ghost baby.

The enveloping black mist around the ghost baby, upon being struck by the talisman, dispersed as if meeting its nemesis.

The shrieking of the ghost baby grew louder; it desperately struggled to avoid the attack of the talisman, but it couldn’t move at all.

Watching everything unfold before them, the Meng Family was already shaking with fear.

After a sharp and agonizing wail, the ghost baby finally broke free from Zhong Niangyao’s restraint.

However, by that time, the black mist around it had almost completely dispersed. Its originally slightly dark body also gradually became more transparent, a sign of a soul scattering.

After breaking free from Zhong Niangyao’s talisman, the ghost baby attacked Meng Ruikai with the speed of lightning before he could cover his ears.

Nobody had anticipated such a turn of events, and as the person involved, Meng Ruikai was too slow to react and stood there dumbfounded. It was only when he felt a piercing pain in his shoulder that he came back to his senses.

“Rui Kai.”

Mr. Meng and Madam Meng shouted loudly and were about to rush forward to save their son.

Now that their daughter’s life was hanging in the balance, they didn’t know how they would cope if something else were to happen to their son.

Having regained awareness, Meng Ruikai immediately began to dodge to avoid the ghost baby’s attacks.

Zhong Niangyao swiftly stepped forward, a talisman in her hand slapped onto the ghost baby once again.

“Woah, woah.”

The sharp sound again caused everyone’s eardrums to ache.

This time, Zhong Niangyao, as if she hadn’t heard anything, once again caught the painfully struggling ghost baby and threw it to the ground, then began to form a seal with her hands.

A golden light emerged at her fingertips and fell directly onto the ghost baby.

The golden light enveloped the ghost baby, which seemed to be undergoing immense pain and struggled and writhed in the golden light.

Even so, it could not escape the cage made from the golden light.

The black mist around the ghost baby faded, and its shadow gradually turned transparent.

At the moment when the black mist completely dissipated, the ghost baby, originally fierce and ferocious, had completely recovered, looking just like an innocent four- or five-month-old child, eliciting sympathy.

In its complete recovery, its form blossomed like fireworks, stunningly dissipating into the universe.

“Sigh,” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but let out a breath.

Although the ghost baby had been eliminated, Zhong Niangyao did not feel a shred of happiness, but rather a faint trace of melancholy and helplessness.

She didn’t want to harm the ghost baby; there was simply no other way.

From the moment Master Zeng created this ghost baby, it was destined to have only one ending. Other than its soul being scattered, there simply was no other way. This ghost baby couldn’t even be called a ghost anymore, but a gathering of resentment.

Such a thing, if left in this world, meant nothing but slaughter.

“Don’t think too much.”

Sensing Zhong Niangyao’s mood was down, Lu Yichen stepped forward, gently patted her shoulder, and comforted her, “This has nothing to do with you. You’ve done well enough.”

“I’m fine,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, speaking, “I just feel a bit of regret. It’s all because of that Master Zeng, he harmed so many innocent lives, truly unscrupulous!”

“He won’t have a good end,” Lu Yichen said lightly, “His soul has already been taken to hell for interrogation. With all the deeds he has done, after enduring the punishments of the Eighteen Layers of Hell, he will probably be reincarnating in the Beast Path for who knows how many times.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded in agreement.
